Their moderation, and ours

Mark Steyn takes stock of the terror four years on. His conclusion — “the war is being won — in Afghanistan, Iraq, the broader Middle East and many other places where America has changed the conditions on the ground in its favor.” On the other hand, “the war about the war” is being lost which, I suppose, does not bode well for the war itself.
Steyn also offers this definition of a moderate westernized Muslim, U.K. style: “He wants stoning for adultery to be introduced in Liverpool, but. . .it’s not such a priority that he’s prepared to fly a plane into a skyscraper.” Our moderation, by contrast, consists of considering the flying of a plane into a skyscraper as a “tragic event.”
